Buffer Validator

Build a validation utility that accurately distinguishes genuine Buffer objects from impostor objects with buffer-like properties.

Requirements

The validator should:

• Return true for genuine Buffer objects
• Return false for objects with misleading isBuffer properties (non-function values, methods that don't actually validate Buffers, etc.)
• Safely handle null, undefined, and primitive types without throwing errors

Test Cases

• Given Buffer.alloc(10), the validator returns true @test
• Given Buffer.from([1, 2, 3]), the validator returns true @test
• Given an object { isBuffer: null }, the validator returns false @test
• Given an object { isBuffer: function() { return true; } }, the validator returns false @test
• Given an object with constructor { constructor: { isBuffer: 'not-a-function' } }, the validator returns false @test
• Given null, the validator returns false without throwing an error @test
• Given undefined, the validator returns false without throwing an error @test
• Given a plain object {}, the validator returns false @test

API

/**
 * Validates whether an object is a genuine Buffer
 * @param {*} obj - The object to validate
 * @returns {boolean} true if obj is a Buffer, false otherwise
 */
function validateBuffer(obj) {
  // Implementation here
}

module.exports = { validateBuffer };
